Hi my bike been stood for a few months went to start it other day got it started but cut out this happened all the time i got it started, went to try it yesterday wouldnt start then i flatened battery.

I rang Powersports up they said if the unleaded petrol as been stood it goes off is this true or are they making things up?

Im not having a good day lol, just been to bike shop for a new spark plug to get all way home and they gave me wrong plug grrrrr, how long should i leave the battery on for battery says 5-10 hours i have the datatool batery charger?

if the bike still wont start what should i check then any ideas

Battery, I had the same prob when I bought my bike, the buy hadn't used it for months and it started occasionally but had to stand there kicking it for abit, I just gave up and bought a new battery for a fiver , sorted

It would take a long time would it not for petrol to go off to the point where you can't use it

Just make sure all connectors and everything are screwed in wires, fuses aren't blown etc

Hope it works!

It doesn't go off as in lose it's flamability but all normal pump petrol has some water in it. When stood a while the water can separate from the petrol and cause tank rusting and running problems.

Stick some fresh stuff in and go from there.

The bike turns over just didnt fire up when i got it started it ran for like 1 min or so then cut out then wouldnt start at all, after that battery just went flat so now waiting for the battery to recharge, new plug fitted petrol drained from tank and reserve, new petrol added lets hope it runs now lol

[Fadel]

Good luck hope it runs

Yipee lol put new fuel in and new plug started first time i think it was the fuel rather than the plug

My bike had been sitting in the local pub garage for 5~ years.

New plugs, petrol it was fine.
